The Evening Standard reports that Metropolitan police officers now spend an average of 10 hours 6 minutes filling out forms when they arrest someone. This has emerged in the answer to a question from London Assembly member Joanne McCarthy. You can see the story here
Craig, a policemen from Scotland, writes to the Evening Standard to say it is a load of nonsense: no policeman would bother to fill in all the forms mentioned. But then since the info comes from the Met themselves, why shouldn't it be true. Any coppers out there wish to make a comment?

I asked a friend of mine who is a copper how long it took to do the paperwork. He suggested 1-2 hours, although this was only to get the suspect booked into the cells. Presumably there is a whole lot more if there is a prosecution to be gone through.
blogger.com doesnt seem to like those This Is London URLs, so i changed it to a Google News one (which redirects automatically to that Evening Standard news story you mentioned)
